It has been a year since the Central Intelligence Agency joined Twitter, and it decided to celebrate by finally participating in one of the internet's favorite things - cat pictures.

The photo shows an adorable grey cat sitting at an official CIA computer, one paw on on the keyboard as it shoots the camera a look while the agency's Twitter account is displayed on screen.

'Maybe we'll run out of stories and have to tweet cat photos,' reads the post, which is accompanied by the hashtags 'CIAcat' and 'Twitterversary'.

The CIA celebrated its one-year Twitter anniversary by posting a picture of a cat at an official agency computer

The tweet was part of one of five reasons the agency gave for why people should follow the CIA on Twitter.

'The comments. Some of our followers have the most entertaining conspiracy theories on the internet,' the agency tweeted as their fifth reason with the hashtag 'aliens in the basement'.

The CIA begins their fourth reason with 'in our second year we are going to,' before completely blocking the rest of the word out, poking fun at its secretiveness.

'Who knows, someday we may tweet out the solution to Kryptos,' it gives as its third reason, referencing the famous encrypted sculpture that stands at its headquarters in Langley, Virginia and contains one of the most famous unsolved codes in the world.

Most of the reasons were humorous, such as this tweet poking fun at the the conspiracy theories users share with the agency

The agency's second reason veers away from the series' humorous tone, promising people will 'learn more about our rich history and ordinary Americans doing extraordinary things'.

But it saves for best with its fifth, final - and feline - reason.

The post got plenty of love on Twitter, plus a whole lot of cat puns.

'My two cats want to sign up MEOW,' wrote one user.

'You all get to use macs?' asked one poster, referencing the computer in the picture before asking, 'or just the cool cats?'

'How do I get my cat into the CIA?' asked one user, to which another responded 'First off, NO feline tattoos and NO catnip use are allowed! That is, unless you are a kitten consultant'.

This isn't the first time the CIA's Twitter account has gotten attention for its humor.

It's very first post, which read 'we can neither confirm nor deny that this our first tweet', was retweeted almost 300,000 times.

The account also got funny for its one month anniversary, deciding it would answer some of Twitter users' most frequent questions.

'No we don't know your password, so we can't send it to you,' it wrote.

'No, we don't know where Tupac is.'
